A reunion to remember! <\/p>\n

Disney Channel fans were delighted to see that the Sonny With a Chance<\/em> and So Random!<\/em> casts reunited on Zoom. The glorious get-together, which was pre-recorded, was shared on Saturday on YouTube<\/a> for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The former co-stars chatted virtually about all the things, including their life after their respective hit series, their personal experiences working on the each show and more.<\/p>\n

So who joined in on the fun? Demi Lovato<\/a><\/strong>, Tiffany Thornton<\/strong>, Allisyn Ashley Arm<\/strong>, Doug Brochu<\/strong>, Sterling Knight<\/strong>, Audrey Whitby<\/strong>, Matthew Scott Montgomery<\/strong>, Shayne Topp<\/strong> and Damien Haas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One word: epic!<\/p>\n

During their chat, the “Anyone” songstress got real about some of her struggles during and after filming Sonny With a Chance<\/em>. Moreover, Demi was also able to poke fun at herself when sharing certain experiences and situations.<\/p>\n

Case in point: Arm asked the group what everyone had been up to since the show, and it was the 27-year-old pop star’s response that caught everyone off-guard. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I went to rehab,” Demi replied, with a huge laugh. “Several times!”<\/p>\n

However, in a more serious tone, Lovato later expressed to Thornton that she was her “biggest inspiration,” especially because they experienced the same the issues working on a television series.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“When I went away to treatment for the first time, you were my biggest inspiration coming out of it because you dealt with all of those pressures of being a woman on TV,” the pop star told Thornton.<\/p>\n

Adding, “I looked at that as, ‘God, I wish I had that so bad.’ Yes, I probably was happier in my head with whatever I looked like at the time. But I’m so much happier now with the mentality that you have. I look back and it and I’m like, ‘Man, it’s a shame that we wasted any energy on what we wore on set.'”<\/p>\n

Demi also explained that it didn’t help that she would spend hours in fitting during her Disney Channel days, compared to what she experiences now. <\/p>\n

“I went to Will & Grace<\/em> this season, and I literally spent 10 minutes the wardrobe room,” the songstress shared. “Now, I’m like… this doesn’t matter. What I’m wearing does not matter.”<\/p>\n

Demi also opened up about being overworked as a child actress, struggling with an eating disorder and learning to value herself outside of work.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I would have people over for meetings on my lunch breaks, because that’s how much I worked,” she remembered. “People would come in and I’d be covered in a blanket and people would say, ‘Why is it 80 degrees in here?’ I would be like, ‘Because I’m freezing.’ They would be like, ‘Oh my god, what’s wrong with you?'”<\/p>\n

She added, “I had an eating disorder and I was underweight and freezing.”<\/p>\n

“I’m realizing that as I’ve gotten older, because when I was young… when you start off in the industry as a 7-year-old, 8-year-old, you kind of value your self-worth with your success,” she expressed. “I have moments all the time where I’m like, ‘Do I want to continue this? Or do I want to pull a Tiffany and move to Texas, have a family and have a farm.?'”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
